How do you solve #4/3x + 4/3= 4x+3/2#?

Answer 1

#x=-1/16#

Given #color(white)("XXX")4/3x+4/3=4x+3/2#

If we multiply everything (on both sides) by#6# we can get rid of the fractions and make this a simpler equation: #color(white)("XXX")8x+8=24x+9#

Re-arranging by subtraction #(24x+8)# from both sides: #color(white)("XXX")-16x=1#

Then divide both sides by #(-16)# #color(white)("XXX")x=-1/16#
